The move threatens to plunge Libya back to the split between two warring, parallel administrations that governed from 2014 until a unity government was installed last year as part of a U.N.-backed peace plan.

I can’t understand why Libya is not allowed to return to its historical antecedents. From Roman times through the Italian occupation of Libya the country was divided into three parts: Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and southernmost Libya, or Sebha. Let Tripoli fester in its own Islamist juice. Form a second parliament in Benghazi and let Cyrenaica make the effort to incorporate the homeland of the Sanoussi (Sufi) brotherhood, and the remnant of those who still support the family of King Idris. Economically, both elements would have oil fields they could use to finance their states. As for Sebha; let the UN hold a plebiscite. Either that or arm the savages and let them kill each other off.
